If you low balled me and a bigger company came in and offered me a better deal, I'd jump ship too.
I blame this squarely on UW. #TeamMercenary
Anyways, LIPO with the new coach and all the portal/recruiting shit. Every game a BATTLE, every season a WAR but that's months away.
P.S. He's still Hitler for hurting my feelings, though.
No, Deboer is a slow rolling faggot, and deserves to get fucked up by all the SEC skwads
Why?
Maybe because he fed everyone a line of BS, never intended to stay, was halfway out the door during the Natty and is a disingenuous fake ass bitch?
Well then maybe don't low ball him before the natty?
Look, I'm a company man when it comes to UW because that's my school. Anywhere else it's "fuck you pay me" and you'd better believe I'd try to bring talent with me if I was a college coach. DeBoer is trying to win and he's a ruthless ice cold mercenary POS. I respect that and it's part of why he was successful here.
He should have been more ruthless and won us the Natty.
Took his eye off the prize.
That's not why we lost the natty. We lost because we finally ran into a more talented team that also had a good coach.
I like my narrative better and my feelings are hurt by Dutch Hitler.
If you have a coach like that you make him an offer he can't refuse. You don't compete with the big dick programs otherwise.
You are literally citing a coach that left for things other than money while trying to talk about the infallibility of every decision being about the money.

No I’m saying there are multiple reasons. I think he liked the challenge at Bama as well as the money, but you have no shot at keeping him away from a blue blood job unless you come in with a high offer. UW needed to pay a premium to compensate for the fact that they are a not a blue blood. They didn’t and that’s on them. Not that hard.

Deboer wants to win and thought he had a better shot at Bama to do that, that’s why he left. All you have to do is listen to the guys 9 minute bumbling final words to the team. He was getting paid no matter where he ended up.
You can say, but Bama offered a couple million more or they had more cash in the NIL. There’s no life style difference once to hit the 8 plus million a year. You need to jump up into the 25 plus mil to hit that next tier.

He can fuck right off.
I think it’s both. I also think he wants the higher expectations and the challenge of running the SEC gauntlet. Prepping for the NFL.
On the other hand, money talks so there’s that. Easy to scoff at a measly million or two if you aren’t him. Plus, he has the ego of a big time coach so maybe the lowball offer just pissed him off.
I don’t think if they offered DeBoer $12 million he would have signed until after the season.
We’ll never know, but he definitely wanted to wait to see what opened up. Based on his actions and what we know now, it’s pretty clear he was never gonna be a UW lifer.
What lowball offer? 8.7m? Are we evaluating that offer now after 14-1 and a natty appearance or when the offer was made? Imagine not knowing you were headed for a natty 1.5 years into a tenure. Things change, wins happen, going to natties happen, numbers rise. Is this the simple logic missing in this debate? The answer may not surprise you.
I'm pissed he was all but locked in with Alabama a month before the playoffs and that UW apparently never had a chance.
I don't see the upside for him at Bama. He would've been a Seattle sports legend. I'm surprised he'd want to leave such a love-fest behind given that the money wasn't really different. What is he at Alabama? Already on the hot seat.
It doesn't make sense to me. Dumb move.
I think he'll win big at Alabama. I won't care, but I may remind people that I predicted it and was right.
I can’t fault any coach for leaving their gig for Bama. There are only a couple of positions in the entire country on that level. Mind you, I feel like a level drop off is part of why Saban bounced.
In the end, it was a rushed process and Deboer’s exit was handled beyond poorly. His communication to his players and the fans was pathetic. He deserves to be ridiculed and will be hated by many forever because of it.
I have now clue what the offers were. They were both for way more scratch than he ever thought was coming his way a couple years ago.
He has an insanely huge ego. And winning at the highest level will be his biggest challenge and only goal.

Drinking tea now.

He made it personal, so fuck him FOREVER.
